Rioting and looting: Britain's 'moral collapse' in pictures

Footage posted on the internet shows Asyraf Haziq, a student from Malaysia, collapsed on a railway bridge in Barking, east London, with blood pouring from a facial injury sustained during the violence. A man appears to come to his aid, putting a reassuring arm around his shoulders and lifting him to his feet. But while he is distracted, clutching his bleeding wound, another rioter wearing a baseball cap approaches him from behind and unzips the rucksack on his back. The supposed good Samaritan and his accomplice rifle through his bag, snatching his wallet and mobile phone from the rucksack.
